1. Emit efficient code for switch over strings …

   The pattern matcher will now emit `Match` with `String` scrutinee as
   well as the existing `Int` scrutinee. The JVM backend handles this case
   by emitting bytecode that switches on the String's `hashCode` (this
   matches what Java does). The SJS already handles `String` matches.
   
   The approach is similar to scala/scala#8451 (see scala/bug#11740 too),
   except that instead of doing a transformation on the AST, we just emit the
   right bytecode straight away. This is desirable since it means that
   Scala.js (and any other backend) can choose their own optimised strategy
   for compiling a match on strings.
   
   Fixes scala#11923
